Letter to ShareholdersMarket review for EnTrustGlobal Alternative Income Strategy

Global Economic Review

While the global economic expansion continued during the six months ended 31December 2019, the pace was muted in a number of countries. In its October 2019World Economic Outlook Update, the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) said,“After slowing sharply in the last three quarters of 2018, the pace of globaleconomic activity remains weak. Momentum in manufacturing activity, in particular,has weakened substantially, to levels not seen since the global financial crisis. Risingtrade and geopolitical tensions have increased uncertainty about the future of theglobal trading system and international cooperation more generally, taking a toll onbusiness confidence, investment decisions, and global trade. A notable shift towardincreased monetary policy accommodation – through both action andcommunication – has cushioned the impact of these tensions on financial marketsentiment and activity, while a generally resilient service sector has supportedemployment growth. That said, the outlook remains precarious.” From a regionalperspective, the IMF projects the US economy expanded 2.4% in 2019, comparedto 2.9% in the prior calendar year. Elsewhere, the IMF anticipates 2019 GDPgrowth in the Eurozone, U.K. and Japan will be 1.2%, 1.2% and 0.9%,respectively. For comparison purposes, these economies expanded 1.9%, 1.4% and0.8%, respectively, in 2018.

Market Review – Fixed Income

Global fixed income markets posted positive results during the reporting period. Inthe US, the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) had a “dovish pivot” in early 2019. Afterraising interest rates four times in 2018, the Fed lowered rates three times in thesecond half of 2019 in an attempt to spur economic growth. Against this backdrop,US Treasury yields declined (yields and prices move in the opposite direction) andthe spread sectors (non-US Treasuries) rallied. Monetary policy accommodation by anumber of other central banks due to moderating growth and trade waruncertainties also led to falling global bond yields.

Market Review – Global Equities

Global equities generated strong results during the reporting period. Despiteperiods of elevated volatility, often driven by contentious US – China tradenegotiations, the US stock market ended the reporting period near an all-time high.Supporting US equities were the aforementioned monetary policy accommodation,corporate profits that often exceeded modest expectations and, toward the end ofthe year, a “Phase 1” trade agreement between the US and China. Non-USdeveloped and emerging market equities also rallied. Many of the factors propellingUS equities higher also supported the overseas markets. Investors were alsoencouraged by clarity on the likely resolution of Brexit, as well as hopes forimproving growth in 2020.

Yours sincerely,

Legg Mason Alternative Funds ICAV (the “ICAV”) is an open-ended Irish Collective Asset-management Vehicle with variable capital formed under the laws of Ireland andpursuant to the Irish Collective Asset-management Vehicles Act 2015 (“The ICAV Act”). The ICAV is authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”), underthe European Communities (Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011 (as amended), and under The Central Bank (Supervision AndEnforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1) (Undertakings For Collective Investment In Transferable Securities) Regulations 2019) (together the “UCITS Regulations”). It wasformed on 17 July 2015 with registration number C139549. Its objective, as set out in the ICAV’s Instrument of Incorporation, is the collective investment in transferablesecurities and other liquid financial assets of capital raised from the public. The ICAV is organised in the form of an umbrella fund. The Instrument of Incorporation providesfor separate sub-funds, each representing interests in a defined portfolio of assets and liabilities, which may be established from time to time with the prior approval of theCentral Bank. The Instrument of Incorporation of the ICAV also provides that the ICAV may offer separate classes of shares, each representing interests in a sub-fundcomprising a distinct portfolio of investments. A separate portfolio of assets shall not be maintained for a class. Currently only 1 sub-fund, the EnTrustGlobal AlternativeIncome Strategy (“the Fund”) (formerly known as EnTrustPermal Alternative Income Strategy) has been established by the ICAV. The Fund formed on 17 July 2015 and waslaunched on 25 August 2015. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return comprised of capital appreciation and income. The Fund is a multi-manager, multi-strategy fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets to a select group of discretionary sub-investment advisers (“Sub-Advisers”) that employ avariety of investment strategies.

The ICAV is authorised by the Central Bank, under the European Communities (Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2019 (asamended), and under UCITS Regulations. It was formed on 17 July 2015 with registration number C139549.

Sub-Advisers

Legg Mason Investments (Ireland) Limited (the “Manager”) appointed EnTrustGlobal Ltd. (the “Investment Manager”) as the Investment Manager on 22 July 2019 tomanage the investment and reinvestment of the Fund’s assets. On 22 July 2019, EnTrustPermal Ltd. ceased acting as the Investment Manager. Under the InvestmentManagement Agreement, the Investment Manager may delegate its investment management functions to one or more Sub-Advisers, provided the appointment of eachSub-Adviser is in accordance with the requirements of the Central Bank.

During the period covered by this report, the Investment Manager had engaged the following entities as Sub-Advisers to provide investment management services to the Fund:

2. Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Preparation

The ICAV financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 104 (“FRS 104”), “Interim Financial Reporting”, Irish statute comprisingof the ICAV Act and the UCITS Regulations. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis for the ICAV under the historical cost convention asmodified by the revaluation of financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through the profit or loss.

These condensed unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019,which have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102, Irish Statute comprising of the ICAV Act and the UCITS Regulations. The ICAV has availed of the exemption availableto open-ended investment funds under Section 7 “Statement of Cash Flows” of FRS 102, not to prepare a cash flow statement on the basis that substantially all of theICAV’s investments are highly liquid and carried at fair value and the ICAV provides a Statement of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of RedeemableParticipating Shares.

All references to net assets throughout this document refer to net assets attributable to holders of Redeemable Participating Shares unless otherwise stated. All the ICAV’sassets and liabilities are held for the purposes of being traded or are expected to be realised within one period.

3. Efficient Portfolio Management

Subject to the conditions and within the limits from time to time laid down by the Central Bank, and except as otherwise stated in the investment objective and policies of a fund,a Fund may engage in transactions in financial derivative instruments, whether for efficient portfolio management purposes (i.e. hedging, reducing risks or costs, or increasingcapital or income returns) or investment purposes. Furthermore, new techniques and instruments may be developed which may be suitable for use by the Fund in the future anda Fund may employ such techniques and instruments subject to the prior approval of, and any restrictions imposed by, the Central Bank.

For UCITS which have engaged in efficient portfolio management techniques, under UCITS Notice 8.5, a UCITS is required to disclose the revenues arising from repurchaseagreements and stocklending transactions for the entire reporting period together with the direct and indirect operational costs and fees incurred. There were no suchtechniques employed for the period end 31 December 2019 (year ended 30 June 2019: None).

There was no repurchase agreements or security lending contracts entered into during the period ended 31 December 2019 (year ended 30 June 2019: None).

Administrator and Depositary Fees

State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited acts as Depositary and State Street Fund Services (Ireland) Limited acts as Administrator to the ICAV. For administration,accounting, shareholder, trustee and custodial services they collectively receive from the Fund fee of up to 0.20% per annum of the NAV of the Fund.

Performance Fees

The Investment Manager and each of the Sub-Advisers are be entitled to receive a fee (a ‘‘Performance Fee’’) depending on the performance of the Share Classes of theFund. For the purposes of calculating such performance fees, the term “Performance Period” means the period beginning on 1 July and ending on 30 June of each year,with the exception of the first Performance Period for a Share Class, which will begin upon the initial issue of shares in that Share Class and end on the following 30 Juneand the first Performance Period for a Portfolio, which will begin upon the appointment of such Sub-Adviser to manage said Portfolio and will end on the following 30 June.

Investment Manager Performance Fee: Under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, the ICAV will pay to the Investment Manager out of the assets of theFund a Performance Fee on each Share Class; provided that the Performance Fee on a Share Class is payable only if the NAV of such Share Class (before any accruals ofPerformance Fees or Additional Performance Fees, as defined below) has increased by at least 4 per cent at the end of the relevant Performance Period from the NAV ofsuch Share Class as at the end of the prior Performance Period, or in the case of the first Performance Period, the Initial Offer Price of such Share Class (the “InvestmentManager Hurdle Rate”). The Investment Manager Hurdle Rate shall be proportionately reduced for any Performance Period that is less than 365 days. The Performance Feeshall be equal to 15 per cent of the New Net Appreciation (as defined below) of the relevant Share Class during the Performance Period above the Investment ManagerHurdle Rate.

The Performance Fee (if any) will accrue each Dealing Day. The amount accrued on each Dealing Day will be determined by calculating the Performance Fee that would bepayable if that day was the last day of the current Performance Period. The Performance Fee will be payable by the Fund to the Investment Manager annually in arrearswithin 45 calendar days of the end of each Performance Period. The calculation of the Performance Fee shall be based upon unaudited information but will be verified bythe Depositary.

Sub-Adviser Performance Fees: Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreements between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers, the Investment Manager shall payeach Sub-Adviser a performance fee (the “Sub-Adviser Performance Fee”); provided that the Sub-Adviser Performance Fee is payable on a Sub-Adviser’s Portfolio only if theNAV of such Portfolio (before any accruals of Sub-Adviser Performance Fees) has increased by at least 4 per cent at end of relevant Performance Period from the NAV ofsuch Portfolio as at the end of the prior Performance Period (the “Sub-Adviser Hurdle Rate”). The Sub-Adviser Hurdle Rate shall be proportionately reduced for anyPerformance Period that is less than 365 days. The Sub-Adviser Fee shall be equal to 10 per cent of the New Net Appreciation (as defined below) of the Portfolio allocated tosuch Sub-Adviser during the Performance Period above the Sub-Adviser Hurdle Rate. The Sub-Adviser is entitled to receive such Sub-Adviser Performance Fee until suchtime, if ever, that the Sub-Adviser ceases to manage the Portfolio (the “Term of Appointment” ). A Sub-Adviser may waive their right to receive a Sub-Adviser PerformanceFee, in which case no Sub-Adviser Performance Fee will be applicable in respect of the Portfolio managed by that Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser Performance Fee will becalculated and accrued daily during the Term of Appointment and for each Performance Period. Where a Sub-Adviser is entitled to receive a Sub-Adviser Performance Fee ina Performance Period, all or part of that Sub-Adviser Performance Fee, depending upon the arrangements with that Sub-Adviser, will be paid to the Sub-Adviser for thatPerformance Period. Upon the termination of a Sub-Adviser’s appointment, any Sub-Adviser Performance Fees owed will be paid in full. The calculation of any Sub-AdviserPerformance Fee must be verified by the Depositary.

Additional Performance Fee: The Investment Manager will pay the Sub-Adviser Performance Fees for a particular Performance Period out of the Performance Fee paid to itfor such Performance Period. However, if, as of the end of any Performance Period, the sum of all Sub-Adviser Performance Fees payable to Sub-Advisers in respect of aPerformance Period exceeds the Performance Fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Fund will pay an additional amount (the “Additional Performance Fee”) to theInvestment Manager which shall, in turn, remit the Additional Performance Fee to the relevant Sub-Adviser to cover the shortfall. This may occur where, for example, duringa Performance Period one or more Sub-Advisers add value in respect of their Portfolio, while other Sub-Advisers add negative value with respect to their respectivePortfolios. Any such Additional Performance Fee paid by the Fund will be deducted from the Investment Manager’s Performance Fee before payment to the InvestmentManager in subsequent Performance Periods; provided that upon a redemption, the amount of the Additional Performance Fee to be deducted from the InvestmentManager’s Performance Fee in subsequent Performance Periods shall be decreased by an amount proportionate to the percentage of outstanding Shares redeemed in therelevant Class. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Fund or the Investment Management Agreement is terminated following the payment of an Additional Performance Fee,the Investment Manager shall not be required to reimburse the Fund such Additional Performance Fee.

High-Water Mark/Loss Carry-Forward: The Investment Manager and Sub-Advisers are entitled to receive Performance Fees or Sub-Adviser Fees during a Performance Periodonly if the NAV of a particular Share Class or Sub-Adviser Portfolio has appreciated above the previous high-water mark achieved for the relevant Share Class or Portfolio.

The term “New Net Appreciation” is used for purposes of calculating the high-water mark and represents the excess, if any, of the positive performance of a Share Class (orPortfolio in the case of the Sub-Adviser Performance Fee) during a Performance Period over any loss carry-forward applicable at the start of such period, adjusted daily forinvestor redemptions during that period. New Net Appreciation is calculated with reference to the Cumulative Performance Account and, for any Performance Period, shallequal the positive balance (if any) of such account at the end of the period.

Performance fees accrued for the period ended 31 December 2019 were US$Nil (period ended 31 December 2018: US$Nil).

Directors’ Remuneration

Directors’ fees accrued for the period ended 31 December 2019 were US$8,322 (period ended 31 December 2018: US$15,353).

Director’s fees are not payable in respect of Joseph Carrier, Jane Trust, Victoria Rock and Jaspal Sagger who are employees of the Investment Manager or its affiliates.

Other Related Party Transactions

As at 31 December 2019, a wholly owned company of Legg Mason Inc., LM International Holdings LP, held 0.0062% (30 June 2019: 0.0052%) of the issued share capital of the Fund.

As at 31 December 2019, one institution held 67.62% of the redeemable participating shares of the Fund (30 June 2019: 65.15%).

5. Distributions to Holders of Redeemable Participating Shares

Distributing Share Classes

The letter in parentheses at the end of the name of each Distributing Share Class indicates a particular frequency of dividend declarations and dividend payments, asdetailed in the following table.

Distributing Share Class Designation Frequency of Dividend Declarations Frequency of Dividend Payments

(D) Daily Monthly(M) Monthly Monthly(Q) Quarterly Quarterly (October, January, April, July)(S) Semi-Annually Semi-Annually (January, July)(A) Annually Annually (July)

For each Distributing Share Class, at the time of each dividend declaration: (1) all, or some portion of, net investment income, if any, will be declared as a dividend; and(2) all, or some portion, of realised and unrealised capital gains net of realised and unrealised capital losses may be, but is not required to be, declared as a dividend.

Distributing Plus Share Classes, may charge certain fees and expenses to capital rather than income, and there is an increased risk that investors in these Share Classes may notreceive back the full amount invested when redeeming their holding. The declaration of distributions in Distributing Plus Share Classes could result in the erosion of capital forinvestors in those Distributing Plus Share Classes and that increased income will be achieved by foregoing some of the potential for future capital growth. The Distributing PlusShare Classes paid a distribution of US$810,283 (period ended 31 December 2018: US$1,559,386) out of which US$246 were reinvested in the Fund at 31 December 2019(31 December 2018: US$113,193).

During the period, the Fund paid distributions out of capital on Distributing Plus Share Classes:

Accumulating Share Classes

With respect to Accumulating Share Classes, it is intended that, in the normal course of business, distributions will not be declared and that any net investment incomeattributable to each Accumulating Share Class will be accumulated daily in the respective NAV per share of each respective Share Class.

6. Connected Persons

Regulation 43 of the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1)) (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferrable Securities) Regulations2019 (“Central Bank Regulations”) states that “a responsible person shall ensure that any transaction between the UCITS Regulations and a connected person is conducted(a) at arm’s length; and (b) in the best interest of the unitholders of the UCITS”.

As required under UCITS Regulation 78(4) of the Central Bank Regulations, the Directors are satisfied that there are in place arrangements, evidenced by written procedures,to ensure that the obligations that are prescribed by Regulation 43(1) are applied to all transactions with a connected person; and all transactions with connected personsthat were entered into during the period to which the report relates complied with the obligations that are prescribed by Regulation 43(1).

7. Taxation

Under current Irish law and practice, the ICAV qualifies as an investment undertaking as defined in Section 739B of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 (as amended). On thatbasis, the ICAV will not generally be liable to Irish tax in respect of its income and gains, other than on the occurrence of a chargeable event. Generally a chargeable event ariseson any distribution, redemption, repurchase, cancellation, transfer of shares or on the ending of a ‘Relevant Period’, a ‘Relevant Period’ being an eight year period beginningwith the acquisition of the shares by the shareholders and each subsequent period of eight years beginning immediately after the preceding Relevant Year.

No Irish tax will arise on the ICAV in respect of chargeable events in respect of:

(i) a shareholder who is neither Irish resident nor ordinarily resident in Ireland for tax purposes, at the time of the chargeable event, provided an appropriate validdeclaration is in place, or the ICAV has been authorised by Irish Revenue to make gross payments in the absence of appropriate declarations; and

(ii) certain exempted Irish tax resident shareholders who have provided the ICAV with the necessary signed statutory declarations.

In addition, any transaction (which might otherwise be a chargeable event) in relation to shares held in a recognised clearing system as designated by order of the IrishRevenue Commissioners will not constitute a chargeable event.

In the absence of an appropriate declaration, the ICAV will be liable to Irish tax on the occurrence of a chargeable event. There were no chargeable events during the periodunder review.

Capital gains, dividends and interest received may be subject to taxes, including withholding taxes imposed by the country of origin and such taxes may not be recoverableby the Fund or its shareholders.

Legg Mason Alternative Funds ICAV Semi-Annual Report 31 December 2019

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)13. Risk Exposure and Risk Management

The Investment Manager is responsible for selecting the investment strategies in which the Fund invests and identifying and retaining Sub-Advisers with expertise in theselected investment strategies. The Investment Manager seeks to reduce risk and volatility in the Fund through diversification of the Fund’s exposure to multiple Sub-Advisers and investment strategies.

The securities and instruments in which the Funds invest are subject to normal market fluctuations and other risks inherent in investing in such investments, and there canbe no assurance that any appreciation in value will occur. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment objective.

In pursuing its investment objectives, the ICAV holds financial derivative instruments (“FDIs”). The ICAV’s financial derivative instruments held at 31 December 2019 aredisclosed in the Portfolio of Investments.

The main risks arising from the ICAV’s financial instruments are market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

EnTrustGlobal Ltd. operates a risk management process on behalf of the Fund in relation to the Fund’s use of FDIs which allows EnTrustGlobal Ltd. to measure, monitor andmanage various risks associated with FDIs and which is intended to ensure that the Fund’s FDI exposure remains within the limits described below. The risk managementprocess is described in a statement, a copy of which has been filed with the Central Bank, and which will be updated from time to time to include any additional FDIs whicha Sub-Adviser or EnTrustGlobal Ltd. proposes to employ on behalf of the Fund (the “Risk Management Process”). Until such time as the Risk Management Process has beenupdated and cleared by the Central Bank, however, neither a Sub-Adviser nor EnTrustGlobal Ltd. will use any FDI which is not for the time being included in the RiskManagement Process.

EnTrustGlobal Ltd. pursuant to various sub-adviser agreements, delegates certain investment management responsibilities in relation to Portfolios to Sub-Advisersrepresenting distinct investment styles and expertise in an asset class.

The ICAV’s financial risk management objectives and policies continue to be consistent with those disclosed in the ICAV’s Annual Report and Audited Financial Statementsas at and for the financial year ended 30 June 2019.

Fair Value Estimation

The ICAV classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.

The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1: The unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable (ie developed using market data) for the asset or liability, either directly orindirectly.

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable (ie for which market data is unavailable) for the asset or liability.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that issignificant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fairvalue measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement. Assessing thesignificance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

The determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgement by the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager considers observable data to bethat market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are activelyinvolved in the relevant market.

For each class of assets and liabilities not measured at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position but for which fair value is disclosed, FRS 102 requires the ICAV todisclose the level within the fair value hierarchy which the fair value measurement would be categorised and a description of the valuation technique and inputs used in thetechnique.

Assets and liabilities not carried at fair value are carried at amortised cost; their carrying values are a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents include deposits held with banks and other short-term investments in an active market and they are categorised as Level 2.

Receivable for investments sold and other receivables include the contractual amounts for settlement of trades and other obligations due to the ICAV. Payable forinvestments purchased and other payables represent the contractual amounts and obligations due by the ICAV for settlement of trades and expenses. All receivable andpayable balances are categorised as Level 2.

The puttable value of redeemable shares is calculated based on the net difference between total assets and all other liabilities of each Fund within the ICAV in accordancewith the Funds’ offering documentation. These shares are not traded on an active market. A demand feature is attached to these shares, as they are redeemable at theholders’ option and can be put back to the Fund at any dealing date for cash/assets equal to a proportionate share of the Fund’s NAV attributable to the Share Class.

The fair value is based on the amount payable on demand, discounted from the first date that the amount could be required to be paid. The impact of discounting in thisinstance is not material. As such, Level 2 is deemed to be the most appropriate categorisation for net assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares held.

All forward foreign exchange contracts are classified as Level 2 since they are valued using observable inputs but are not quoted in an active market.

There were no transfers between levels during the period ended 31 December 2019 and year ended 30 June 2019.

The following table analyses under the fair value hierarchy the Funds’ financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value at 31 December 2019 and 30 June 2019:
